Josep Cusachs

[2] His army experience was still an important part of his life, however, and his paintings were mostly on military subjects, especially the cavalry, due to his love for horses.

Three years later, he participated in an exposition in Madrid, where his painting En el campo de maniobras (Maneuvers in the Field), was purchased by Queen María Cristina.

[1] In 1891, he won a gold medal at the International Exposition in Berlin with Maniobras de división (Divisional Maneuvers).

He also dealt with religious themes, including his well-known La huída a Egipto (The Flight from Egypt), which is in the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey.

[3] A good selection of his illustrations may be found in Military Life in Spain by Francesc Barado [ca] (Ramirez, 1888).
